I've been unable to change the name of my phone - it's keeps reverting back to 'Galaxy S26 Ultra' . Very confusing to have three phones with same name within Android Auto. Anyone else having this problem - and knows how to fix it. ONE Ui 8.5 bug?

Having the same issue. I don't even have to restart the phone. Toggling Bluetooth from off to on (and visa versa) resets the device name to bog standard.

I have been using s25 ultra and now s26 ultra with one UI 8.5.
Also used one UI 8.5 beta on S25 Ultra.

Phone name goes back to Galaxy S25 Ultra / Galaxy 26 Ultra....how many ever times I change to my name.

Doesn't revert instantly but goes back in day may be or after restart.. didn't find exact timeline.

Has anyone noticed this..? Any idea..?
